No not to get rid of it by force, but to get rid of the idea that ideas OF ANY KIND deserve to be free from getting offended.

Would be surprised if ISIS actually had anything to do directly with this .
These Islamic groups do love owning up to everything to boost their rep.

More likely a lone jihadi nut job.

It's certainly possible, perhaps probable, that they did not have anything to do with it directly. It's nonetheless amusing that they'd make the move to claim credit for such a dismal failure of an attack. You'd think the last thing they'd want would be to connect themselves to it.

It's come out that it was a single officer, 60 years old, that took them both out. Two shots two kills within seconds of the security guard being attacked. Most articles are saying a .45 Glock, one says a .357. Either way, phenomenal shooting. That's some movie shit right there.

Eh, it's annoying and reactionary. All bark with very little bite. Pews are starting to dwindle, atheists and other non-believers numbers are increasing. Atheists and secular organizations are on the rise and taking action against religious materials and statuary in public places. Lol those lovely satanists, as soon as they hear of some courthouse or public school getting ten commandment monument or the distribution of christian materials in public schools they come out with Satanic statues ready to be erected and Satanic literature (usually a coloring book) to be distributed. The christian privilege takes a back seat when they realize they aren't the only game in town. Oh, and we have an annual war on Christmas after Thanksgiving that runs until New Years.
